On Monday, the group were said to have have stormed the district assembly and locked down the office of the District Chief Executive.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”HRKyEDCfmVZGMOYO0xV6iTWC8UMfEQhH”]They were also reported to have attempted to destroy some properties belonging to the assembly but the timely intervention of the Police in the area saved the situation.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson of the group, Ismael Sun said in resolving the issue however, the DCE \u201carranged a meeting at her office. I called some of the group leaders. We went there and we were truly discussing the issue and she made some offers.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was trying to offer us some monies which we rejected. She promised the youth some contracts and I said that is not why we came here; you said we should discuss party issues we should look at the way forward. We don\u2019t want this daunted between you; between the executives and everything all over the news, we don\u2019t really like that. \u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n

Ishmael Sun said that because they could not settle the issue amicably \u201cSome of the people I went there with were very agitated because she couldn’t offer anything substantial. We thought that whatever it is, you have to tell us something concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe couldn\u2019t explain her position properly; she couldn\u2019t tell us the reason why she called us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ishmeal Sun has refuted claims that his group led the attack on the DCE’s office calling for the arrest of persons involved.<\/p>\n

He said; \u201cWe did not do that, we did not attack the district chief executive office in Jirapa.\u201d<\/p>\n

He insisted that \u201cdefinitely if that is against the law they should be arrested and prosecuted. Anybody who has done that should be arrested and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n
